4.0 out of 5 stars Good insight as to how Chinese in midle and upper class lived in the 17th Century., September 23, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Story of the Stone, Vol. 2: The Crab-Flower Club (Paperback)
I have bought all 5 books in the series. I have just finished book 2 and the interest is still there to grab an insight into how the Chinese Middle & Upper class lived around the 1650's or so. It is written in an easy free flowing style. I am enjoying the books so far!The Story of the Stone, Vol. 2: The Crab-Flower Club

4.0 out of 5 stars Following Volume 1..., September 23, 2000
This review is from: The Story of the Stone, Vol. 2: The Crab-Flower Club (Paperback)
...comes "The Crab-Flower Club", the second part of "The Story of the Stone". The author continues to immerse the reader in the everyday details of upper-class life in Qing China, but expect more character development than plot development in this volume. Definitely moves at a slower pace than Volume 1.
